The bcm43xx-fwcutter package instead the b43-fwcutter will restore the proprietary firmware for you. bcm43xx-fwcutter is in Universe. No need to go back to Gutsy:

aptitude purge b43-fwcutter
aptitude install bcm43xx-fwcutter

should give you the Gutsy feeling :-) You can also try a simple reinstall of b43-fwcutter (purging and installing).

BTW, my problems with the b43 driver are gone - throughput and stability is the same as with the proprietary Broadcom firmware. Notebook is HP NX6325.
